Tides of Keresek

Two hundred years ago, the werewolves of the Trevelloc clan closed off their island to the rest of the world. Now, they are the only ones who know what happened to Tressa’s brother.

Tressa is a cartographer, accustomed to measuring physical shores and charting visible tides. But when her brother vanishes on the banned coasts of Keresek, her instruments cannot help her. Desperate, she strikes a bargain with Kadek, the clan's formidable and insular alpha. He possesses the map she needs; she offers him one year of service in a clan that despises outsiders.

Their bargain binds them to the island's lethal terrain. Plunged into a brutal society where power is claimed by craft and physical survival, Tressa must navigate treacherous fishing politics, cliffside hazards, and a magnetic, terrifying pull toward the one man she swore to hate. Surrounded by enemies and the encroaching tide of clan warfare, she realizes too late: finding her brother means surviving the werewolves, and the price of the alpha's protection might be her freedom.
